Handling
Gents these too different techs, i don't do much gravel riding so carnt really comment but have done 100s of laps on the circuit where what you are describing is counter steering, pushing the bars away from the way you wish to turn.
Also the reason you see sport bikes hanging off is to lower the c.o.g and keep the bike as upright as possible to keep a larger contact area on the road.
Also it is important to keep the elbows bent and with your head almost as if you where looking around a door.
If the bike is in the right gear/speed it looks unstable but is the complete opposite.
Google Keith Code, he describes the physics of riding far better than i can
